There are rumours about reducing tax relief for +€1m homes here? It's on the table for the next parliament and it would be a popular move. The natives are canny - I'd guess he's playing it safe and keeping under the million euro mark just in case.

My dad bought a large country house in Spain that came with a new 4x4, apparently the price was just under some limit that saved him quite a bit in tax.

Quite lucky really as he was after a new 4x4.

When your profit is running at 17000% (yes, 17 with three zeros after it) you kinda run out of time to spend it.

Stamp Duty and Money Laundering.

"On a property worth £1 million the stamp duty bill will rise from £40,000 to £50,000 from April 6, 2011." Not.
